Planned Parenthood or Planned EMBEZZLEMENT?????

WHERE'S THE CASH????????

That's the question that Planned Parenthood definitely doesn't want asked. But it is a question Rita Diller, the national director of Stop Planned Parenthood (Stopp), a project of American Life League recently asked in an article for the Washington Times. Here are a few quotes from the article along with my comments. You can follow the link for the entire article.

DILLER: Planned Parenthood's missing millions
New GAO report reveals disturbing financial discrepancies

"A new report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) on federal tax money funneled into Planned Parenthood and similar organizations raises more questions than it answers about the nation's largest abortion chain.
Planned Parenthood Federation of America's (PPFA) audits show the organization spent just $657.1 million between 2002 and 2008 from federal government grants and programs, but the abortion behemoth's own annual reports show that it took in $2.3 billion from government grants and programs during the same time period." FYI to make it easy for my readers, that leaves $1.64+ billion unaccounted for.

"Has Planned Parenthood managed to tuck away megamillions of our tax dollars, seemingly unnoticed? Or is that much of its government funding coming from sources other than the federal government? Or is there a problem with the way Planned Parenthood is reporting its expenditure of our federal monies?" Or all of the above????

"In just two weeks, Planned Parenthood will complete its 2009-10 fiscal year. Yet it still has not released its annual report for its 2008-09 fiscal year. In light of the discrepancy revealed in this GAO report, we must ask: What is Planned Parenthood trying to keep secret?" Good question!!!!!

"It's time for Planned Parenthood to come clean - if such a thing is possible." I can't say as I fault her cynicism.

"Obviously, every penny Planned Parenthood receives feeds its abortion business in one way or another." As has often been pointed out, money is fungable. & even if it isn't given to pay for or promote abortion, it can still be used to do so as you will see.

"For instance, Title X money is not to be used for abortions. However, according to Abby Johnson, former director of Planned Parenthood's abortion center in Bryan/College Station, Texas, it is used to gain the trust of women in minority neighborhoods in order to bring them into Planned Parenthood facilities, supposedly for health care, and then persuade them to become Planned Parenthood birth-control clients. Then, when the birth control fails, the organization has a built-in minority clientele for abortion, which Ms. Johnson says is Planned Parenthood's big cash cow." So much for our tax money not paying for abortions. & it will only get worse under ObamaCare.

As this article points out PP has yet to come out with its 2008-09 fiscal report & it is just days from the end of the 2009-10 fiscal year. Although they do have their 2008 IRS Forn 990 (fiscal 2008-09) up. An interesting thing about that report is that under federal grants on pg 9 they have no amount filed in. But that could be because of the way they operate with the local PPs getting those grants instead of the national organization.

According to the report PP spent $2,159,948 in the previous 4 years for lobbying. For 2008-09 they spent $782,874. Clearly some of that was done to protect themselves from being held more accountable in the areas of parental notification etc. & given this latest bit of news, you can understand all the more why PP prefers to operate in darkness. Fortunately, God is bringing the truth to light.

As Isaiah 29:15 says: "Woe to you that are deep of heart, to hide your counsel from the Lord: and their works are in the dark, and they say: Who seeth us, and who knoweth us?" PP may be thinking this very thing. But they will soon get the answer. & it won't be the one they want.
